    So I’m just looking for some advice from post op girls, I’m really confused at the moment. I’m 7 weeks po with 350cc mp partials. At 4 weeks I started to feel the left implant at the bottom of my breast. I called mya and spoke to a nurse and she said it was normal to slightly feel the edges of the implant, which id also read on here so I left it alone. The following week I had my post op check in which I told the nurse about my concerns and she agreed that something wasn’t right and said I’d need to see the surgeon again to discuss this. They booked me in to see the Surgeon in April. 2 weeks later and with my breast getting worse and starting to hurt, and also being able to feel the implant in the right boob as well, I asked to see a nurse again. She agreed that it had got noticeably worse in the 2 weeks since id last been in and told me I still needed to wear sports bras/stay away from heavy lifting exercise etc and that I needed to see a surgeon urgently. That was today. Once id told the surgeon about my concerns and that I could feel the implant in the left breast, both were hurting and that it was starting to happen in the right breast also, he simply told me that this was all normal. That feeling the implant was normal and nothing to worry about and that it was simply because I didn’t have enough breast tissue there to cover the implant. So when I said to him ‘so it’s always going to be like this?’ He said yes, because it’s normal. When I mentioned moving the implant to fully under the muscle he told me that this wasn’t an option because there is no muscle at the bottom of the breast it’s just at the top. So please help me out here girls. I know he knows what he’s talking about, but I just want to know from other girls who have had the same procedure if being able to feel the implant to the extent I can is ‘normal’. It feels like it’s dropped to the bottom of my breast and isn’t being held by anything apart from my skin. When I push it I can move it about and can feel it the whole way round at the bottom of the breast and can push it in/move it the whole way round. It isn’t the same on my right breast but recently I’ve been able to feel it slightly in the right one, but only the past week or so. I can’t do the simplest things like carry heavy bags/pick up the Hoover because it hurts. I can’t even wear a sports bra because it feels like my boobs need to be held up. I tried a normal bra and that hurt too so now I’m wearing a sports bra that has cups so that my boobs are held up slightly. I was convinced I’d need a re op because I thought my implants were bottoming out. The nurse confirmed this and then the surgeon told me the nurse didn’t know what she was talking about. They’ve told me they’re going to book me in for a scan to check it isn’t anything else but in the meantime if any of you could get back to me and let me know if this is normal as I’ve been told I’d really appreciate it. Also I started as a small c cup. So although I understand him putting it down to there not being enough breast tissue to cover the implant, it’d be good to hear back from someone that went from a AA and if they can feel there implant as much as I can feel mine. Thanks girls really appreciate any advice cxx

    Hi hun, I’m so sorry to hear about what has happened. I had a BA 10 years ago from an A/small B cup and had about 400cc overs and I can’t feel my implants. Saying that, I know that they do warn that you may feel the implant slightly the way your describing seems pretty bad. I wish you all the luck in the world xx

    Hi hun don’t know if what you have is normal or not but I have had overs and now partials and both cases I can feel my implants at the bottom and never really thought anything of it? Overs I could feel too much and didn’t like it, and this time with partials I am still early days but can feel the implant round the bottom and I’m ok with that as I know I literally have no tissue whatsoever xx
